Photo of the Week 2/2/10
Posted on February 2, 2010 | No CommentsThe ancient tombstones in the Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague are a true site to see. Because Jewish practice does not allow the removal of tombstones, layers of graves and stones are piled upon each other in this cemetary. Each generation simply dug deeper into... -

#20: Going Back to Paris
Posted on January 10, 2010 | No CommentsWhen you travel the world, you come home with lots of good stuff. There are people that amass refrigerator magnets. There are people that collect jewelry.

A Review: Kutná Hora (The Bone Church)

Italian Sunsets
Posted on November 21, 2009 | 1 CommentGrowing up in California, I have visited and lived in many “cities by the sea.” As such, sunsets over the ocean are a Cali treasure that I happily don’t take for granted. As a result, I get great satisfaction while traveling to places offering views... -
Drooling for Italian Fashion
Posted on November 21, 2009 | 4 CommentsIt should come as no surprise that Italian people are stylish. Many a famous designer label has started from the mind of an Italian: Valentino, Versace, Prada, the list goes on. What may be surprising however, is that everyone is stylish. I mean, babies wear... -
Florence is still a Favorite
Posted on November 15, 2009 | No CommentsIn 2001, I went on a high school grad trip to Europe. We spent quite a bit of time traveling throughout Italy, and it was at that time that I dubbed Florence my favorite city on the planet. I admit, however, that I had not...
